PRODUCTION DATA.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the controller is forced into a low-power reset state, disabling the output driver and the VCC bias regulators. This feature is designed to prevent catastrophic failures from overheating and destroying the device.
